Professional experience: I work in KP-Lab as a researcher, studying how groups of people collaborate on some activities (e.g. designing a Culture Quest unit for their classrooms), through the use of computer-supported collaboration tools. The specific tool we are studying is Map-It, and how people use it to advance their collaboration.
My background is in Math, Science and Technology Education.
In addition to my work at KP-Lab at the Hebrew University, I also teach courses for Masters students at Tel-Aviv University, and lead a research project on the use of visual representations for learning.
My research interests are:
- developing conceptual understanding through the use of visual representations
- design of technology-based learning environments
- conceptual change in science
- Constructivist epistemology Beside work:
I have a lovely family: my dear husband - Itzik, and my two amazing daughters - Raz (12) and Gal (7)
I have a very serious hobby for 19 year - I sing in a semi-professional ensamble - mainly classical music but also some contemporary.
Yoga has entered my life recently and it becomes an important part of my life
I love hiking and I love nature - but that's not really unique :-)
